To be "Black" means you are a minority. To be a women means you are a minority. If you add those two traits up it makes a whole lot of inequality. Not only does a black woman face racism and a lack of privilege, but she also faces sexism and biased gender roles. She longs to be heard but her words feel irrelevant. She wants to be important but she is held to her so called insignificance. She is judged, talked for, and given stereotypical morals before her voice is heard. She is taught and accustomed to her  prejudiced unimportance but it eats her up inside so she must speak out.

In this video Janet Crawford discusses how gender bias's are rooted subconsciously rather than consciously. Growing up in The United States from childhood until now we were taught gender bias's. It was incorporated into our early life by certain toys for boys like legos or cars and for girls barbies and princesses. From a young age it was implanted in our brains that girls and boys were supposedly unequal. Girls were shamed and called tomboys if they dressed or acted too much like a boy and boys were called sissies if they dressed or acted like a girl. It was seen as a bad thing to act beyond the gender that was given to us by society. We were taught these bias's enough to the point where they became subconscious,  meaning that we don't even have to bring them to our conscious attention to incorporate them into outward reactions, beliefs, and assumptions based on gender. Truly everyone has these bias's inside their head and we all stand on a foreground of similarity. They can be extinguished if you become aware of your environment and make the conscious decision to not let your subconscious rule.

In the article,"What is White privilege, Really", The author discusses how white privilege is not about all white people being rich or obtaining a higher social status without struggle. White privilege is simply a representation of the societal advantages that white people are given. This advantage is shown through the placement of products meant for only white people and not other ethnicities , the way white people are treated as individuals rather than just an example for their race as a whole, and the way that white people upon meeting are rarely held to racial stereotypes.

Women back in the day were given basically all house household jobs like cleaning, cooking, feeding, taking care of children, etc. These jobs were seen as a fitting role for women because they did not need jobs and because men were in power and were the main providers. It was seen that men should not have to do these jobs. Many believed women were mean't to be in the kitchen and that there were no aspirations or jobs that women were fit to do. In the book, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie's nanny said, "De [n-word] woman is de mule uh de world so far as Ah can see." This quote shows how hard that women during Janie's time had to work and how unequally she would be treated because she was not just a woman during this time but she was also black.

In our society people tend to overthink fears and make them bigger than they actually are. Fear is an inhibitor and tends to engulf people into the depths of their minds. It stops people from achieving their goals and their freedom can most likely be distinguished just from what is made up in the mind. Anxiety creates false depiction of situations and makes many things worse and it is almost like being in a cage. In Their Eyes Were Watching God, Janie has a fear of judgment by the townspeople of Eatonville. After Jody's death Janie was relieved because she was no longer under his wrath. She was the mayors wife so she had to maintain a somber and melancholy aura because if the town knew she wasn't upset they would look down upon her. She truly feared their judgment and acted sad for months after. When Janie re-entered Eatonville after Tea Cake's death, Janie walked through town without skipping a beat and she walked past the porch sitters without a care in the world for what they thought or said meaning that she had overcome her fear and found her voice and her freedom.

1.) Gender Roles in Modern American Society 

# data[].attributes.body
In modern society gender roles still take affect. Although there have been some improvements regarding the acceptance of the people who choose not follow the "role" of their gender, many still abide to their genders specific role. It needs to be recognized that gender and sex are two very different things. Sex is what physically makes a person male or female while gender is what a person or what society perceives their sexual identity to be. In colonial times girls were rarely given jobs, education, and even rights. Now a days Women have jobs, education, and somewhat equal rights yet can still be treated unequally in these regions. Sayings like "You can't do that because you are a girl" or "thats a mans job" still linger. Presence of sexism and gender roles only exist where people create them and hold beliefs that men and women should be unequal.

In modern society gender based generalizations are irrelevant because they are not based off of true human behavior. People are motivated by gender roles present in society to oppress those who do not confine to the roles resulting in a lack of confidence and or achievement. When women feel that they are less than those with the same skills it demotivates them. If you are getting paid less to do the same job whats the point

Although Many advances have been made in our society sexism and gender discrimination are still very prevalent. There is still a large divide in politics, career advancement, and general jobs. Sexual harassment and rape still continue to this day. Most men think that sexism is over and it doesn't happen any more yet women still face gender based obstacles. Weirldy enough older men think that women still face obstacles while younger men believe they are gone for the most part.

In modern America there is an overwhelming amount of men in powerful positions and a very small percent of women. Its not that women aren't trusted, its that the average person subconsciously chooses a man in a powerful position rather than a woman. Because women aren't in these positions the populous is unequally represented. It also creates yet another inequality of women.

In this ted talk Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie explained the power of a single story. A single story is basically a generalized assumption that is made about a place, object, or person before actually getting to know what that thing is actually like and the broadness of it. For example many Americans have pity for those in Africa and find it very hard to grasp that there can be similarities within the countries . Many people just go with the first thing they hear or think about a person or a place and stick to that without an open mind of variety. Predisposed judgments create an immense amount of bias.
